Witness a touching depiction of sacred events from the Bible and Jesus' teachings with this engaging collection of six short films. A blind man's sight is restored because he sees Jesus as his divine Savior ("Seeing"), a woman's touch becomes an act of faith when she is miraculously healed after she touches Christ's garment ("The Touch"), and a widow faithfully gives away her remaining food during a famine ("Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath").

Then, a Jewish man saves his enemy from certain death ("The Good Samaritan"), and in "Akedah (The Binding)," Abraham nearly sacrifices his only son Isaac. In addition, "The Sisters of Bethany" focuses on the important roles Mary and Martha had in Christ's ministry and teaching. Full of inspiring reenactments that bring Scripture to life, Great Bible Stories: Volume 1 was awarded the Dove Foundation's highest honor of five doves.
